So, this is a simple app to change your Android ID.

It is on Google Play for £4.99 (VAT included by Google, so will be more), so please buy it if you want, however it is attached for all XDA members to use free of charge!

This app uses the secure settings API to write the ANDROID_ID, and it grants itself the relevant permission using the package manager executable.

It has a backup function as well, as well as the ability to generate a random ID.

Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liamw.root.androididchanger.

[Android Apps and Games] jerdog:
What is the purpose for this? What does this actually do? What ID are you changing?
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
The ANDROID_ID that is a unique ID for all Android devices, which is null on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] MartyHulskemper:
This app changes a unique ID, as liamwli explained -- Google uses it to identify your device. Since it may change upon installation of another ROM, you may want to revert to the previous ID to prevent several new entries cropping up on the Play Store device menu, for example (in the menu where your devices are listed whenever you (buy and) install an application or game). This tends to get a big mess over time with us OCD flashers, and this means you will have to find out by chance or elimination whatever device Google thinks you are currently on is the device you intend to install to. ;)

EDIT: Oh, and Google's application copy protection scheme seems to partly rely on it, although there are not that many developers depending on this.
[Android Apps and Games] teorouge:
Does the Play Store rely on ANDROID_ID for app compatibility? If I change this, will I be able to download apps saying "Not compatible with your device"?
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

No, that is gathered from XML files on the device and is sent to the Google servers during setup.

Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

How this is works?
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

Uses the Android API to write the secure setting. Needs to be a system app, which is why it needs root.
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
App updated to version 1.1 :)
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
App updated to version 2.0 and 2.0.1 :)
[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
Doesn´t work on Nexus 7 (4.2.2.). Changed ID and success was confirmed, but after reboot old ID was still present.

So App is useless for now. Suggestion: inplement function to generate random (but valid) Android ID.
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

I'll look into implementing it :)

Also, it works best as a system app.

Liam
[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
Well, the app tells me it´s recommended to make it a system app, but not neccessary. So I didn´t set it as a system app first, and it dind´t work.

I then converted it to a system app and it worked immediately. So thanks for your app!

Kusie
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

No worries ;)

Not all devices have the sqlite3 binary installed, so that's why I recommend installing it as a system app.

Liam
[Android Apps and Games] PiperTim:
Sounds like what I need, but got a question

So how do you install something as a system/non-system app? I have three Chinese tablets that I need to "create" a unique Device ID as the manufacturer seemed to think it ok to flash all their units with the SAME ID? Are there any rules to picking an ID? What other tools besides SU do you need (i.e. BusyBox?)

Thanks!

Tim:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
If you have root, the app will prompt you to install it as a system app when it starts.

Check out the current device ID - it should follow the same pattern :)

Liam
[Android Apps and Games] PiperTim:
just to recap

OK, that sounds easy enough... I assume I should use the 2.0 apk and not the other two? Then just kind of pick one number different or whatever down the chain of the ID? Thanks for the help, I will give it a try!:good:

Didn't have luck with the older Android ID Changer.

Cheers!

Tim
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
Re: [App][2.1+] Android ID Changer

[HTC One V] wu fan:
First, I'm not as tech. savvy as you all here. I'm just a person who doesn't like HTC's Sense design and I'm not sure on how to get rid of it so I can have the true Ice Cream Sandwich experience.

So, I tried the idea the person had here: lifehacker.com/5600912/turn-off-htcs-sense-ui-on-your-android-phone. I went to homescreen and nothing changed at all. Then I looked through all of my apps only to find that there is no launcher.

I'm really iffy about downloading another launcher as that sort of defeats the purpose of trying to get/find the default launcher that should be here. What should I do?
[HTC One V] Thin_Bezel:
Download nova or apex
[HTC One V] wu fan:
Thanks but what are those? Are those alternate launchers? I don't want to use any alternate launchers, I want to use Android without all that extra stuff.
[HTC One V] XxlemonxX:
Download another launcher.. apex or nova is stock ICS with more customization if you want stock ics you'll have to download Cm9 custom rom
[HTC One V] wu fan:
Alright, thanks for clearing that up. C: Just tried out the Nova launcher and it already works just a little faster and looks much nicer.
[HTC One V] DTTR:
Well I feel the oposite. I'd rather have Sense than stock ICS launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kacperdamian:
Hi, today I tried to update my HTC Sensation to Jelly Beam 4.1.0 and it didn't worked, I mean now when I want to turn ON my phone he's showing only white screen HTC and then the phone stops at the MIUI boot screen.

I did the unlock from HTC Dev, then I copied CWM-SuperSU-v0.99, ClockworkMod Recovery and miui_pyramid_2.11.23_b6afd13acc_4.1 to SD card and I did everything step by step like it was in the guide. What I should do now, i really need my phone to work. It was stupid idea to upgrade it.

As you can see my English is not good and I'm sorry for that.

If you're going to use LuPuS

You might as well install PACman. It has all of the features of CM9 plus some of the more popular features from AOKP and Paranoid.

Plus then you'll be on Jellybean.

Really, no one can give you a straightforward answer without knowing what it is about the S Pen you want to keep. The air view and the like? If so, JediROM has those TouchWiz features as I recall. Otherwise, just about any ROM for the SGN2 will work.

NFC Issue

I've rooted my GNII, I'm still with the stock ROM, and have GoogleWallet. I have an NFC that happens every so often. Mainly when I run my camera app, music player app, and GooglePlay. My phone will freeze for about 5 secs then a window pops up saying "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped". I have tried multiple "NFC Fixes" by flashing them in CWM and manually moving the files in Root Explorer with no success. GW works fine along with everything else. It's just horribly irritating. If I flash JellyThunder, will this alleviate the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
What Rom are u on#1?

And have you tried this yet? :confused:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

And I'm wondering what caused your problem in the first place. I bet it's how you got Google Wallet working on your stock firmware. Because I seen something b4, about changing/fixing your nfc file.:what: In order to get wallet working! So I didn't try it. And when Jelly Thunder came out and said Google Wallet worth no problems. I was very excited, with everyone eke that wanted it.

So all that being said: I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WYETH THIS ROM WHAT SO EVER! :D

So I would try to do a clean wipe of your system. Then install the Rom and give it a few days to c how it quirks out for you. OR you can just wait for the NEW RELEASE COMING SOON! !:eek::eek::thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
... that was only released in Korea? Well.. it seems it has morphed into something else and in that form is going to be released in Europe!

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/01/18/exclusive-samsung-to-announce-5-8-android-smartphone/

Do i care about it? If it has the same specs as the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 i don't, because i think Samsung charges too much for their underpowered players. My mind is set on the Huawei Ascend Mate 6.1' Phonblet that will be released soon with a HD screen, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and an awesome 4000MAh battery.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
Agree with the price and performance thing you mentioned there. But the 5.8 does have an Enoxys ( <- Wrong spelling I know ) 4 and 1GB of RAM which is significantly better than the 5.0 ect. Although this device costs like £320 for the 32GB model so it's not worth buying. I'm waiting for Nvidia's Project Shield as that just looks awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
Agreed. Project Shield is definitely something i want to get. Hopefully the price for it isnt gonna be outrageous like the ASUS Transformer series tablets :mad: I hope though that Samsung would release the Galaxy Player 5.8 in the U.S. It would hopefully get people to switch over to android instead of CrApple's iSheep devices :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
I also have a Huawei tablet and there are official firmwares for it with Android 3 and ICS, so i think their support is very reasonable, which i can't say about my Galaxy Player.

I tried doing the same by bind-mounting the external_sd on a folder on the internal_sd:

mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard0/external_sd/

In the terminal it worked like a charm, but i couldn't get it to work at boot. Have you any other ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
Wouldn't it be easier to just mount the ext SD to a folder on the internal SD? This seems like 100 times the work really needed.

I can't recall atm how mounting of SD cards works, but if I had this problem I'd probably just put the songs in a .img file and mount that with

mount -o loop -t auto /storage/sdcard1/music.img /storage/sdcard2/music/

Well, for what it's worth you can use CM File Manager to add a shortcut on your home screen if you're on a ROM with Trebuchet Launcher, do that with the executable file and you can at least launch it easily when needed...

With pretty much any other launcher custom shortcuts are supported as is, Trebuchet for some reason lacks it.

(I loathe init.d) :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4142310:
I have now made a script in rom toolbox which does the job, but i'm not very happy with this. I'd prefer doing this simple bind-mount with init.d

So am I stuck? Am I locked? I thought this was the perfect device to experiement with! :P

p.s. How can we take a backup of the current ROM prior to rooting? Something I'd like to do this time when rooting my second device.

well the main issue about this firmware is that it has all the stock useless things that telcel (the carrier) puts on it, so its a very shi** FW, what i could recommend you to do is to put the CE firmware and then with root explorer modify the build.prop to change the version to a st27a, but this FW is only for warranty purposes or things that are needed for telcel issues... hope at least that helps
